Sorry, couldn't help it :D Now for the sake of broadening the discussion and since history has been brought up many times, perhaps the following read is relevant given that it shows what happens when an utopian system (undoubtedly well intentioned, like all utopias are ... or pretend to be) puts a target on the back of…
It mentions in its FAQs That all it is, is a url repository of the source. That a "researcher" needs to download the data set for use, and then the copyright of that data set would apply since they aren't an image hosting service. By wording it this way they have absolutely limited their accountability to usage of the…
I've said something like this in the other thread. The way I see it, as soon as you use a load of disney cartoons as training data for your disney style AI twitter pfp generating app you've made money off disney's IP and they ought to be able to sue your ass for it in the same way they can sue your ass if you put mickey…
I think the one thing that is missing from the people thinking only in "tech terms" is the fact that just because something is now possible to do, doesn't mean that it is "too late to stop it" and that it is the new normal. For instance in France there is a law from 2017 that stipulates that a photograph of a person used…
The laion dataset usage copyright is for research and learning. It wasn't supposed to be used to train AI for commercial purposes since that infringes on individual copyrights. The thing is when the lawsuits start this is likely the angle it will take and if it holds up it will require stability AI, Midjourney and Dall-E…
@Tiles I get that you like AI, but every single one of your posts in this thread are just you saying "false claim" without giving a good reason why it's a false claim, and ignoring all the thoughtful stuff between the "false claims". This WHOLE thread basically amounts to: AI uses art made by artists to build its database;…
The "cat is out of the bag" position is IMHO a rather short-sighted and somewhat unimaginative admission of defeat in regards to the way current models are using data from non-public domain images, without obtaining any license from the artists who got scraped. What license should this be? Don't stare at me CC 2.0 ? ^^ I…
Sorry to be a downer again, but here is where things are at the moment : https://www.traffickinggame.com/ai-assisted-graphics/ First off, it shows that believing that "it will never get better than humans" is beyond pointless really. It is (obviously) lacking the personal touch of an artist in terms of their own references…
The most interesting example of this being a euphoria is in a group that was linked in another post that focuses on Afro futurism for the Black Community, https://www.facebook.com/groups/33445301753/?hoisted_section_header_type=recently_seen&multi_permalinks=10162551203046754 so all the art there until the advent of AI…
People who had been winning by merit of their own hard won skills now become the losers Why? What does these people stop to use AI too? And to repeat it again, it's not that you can let your cleaning woman do the job now. It's the opposite, you need even more knowledge about art than before. You cannot simply start to…
